I like owls much better now then back when people thought I was collecting them. I used to love running yard sales for others and sold a lot of my treasures so I only have a few very special ones left. Your writing is funny, Kay.

They are always so interesting but sometimes not nearly as valuable as the collector would have liked to think. And yet it is a captivating enterprise. <br /><br />I'm sorry I've not gotten back--or not sure I got back to you on FB.
